For a landlord, a roof problem is rarely just a roof problem. It can become a damaged ceiling, an unhappy tenant, an emergency call-out and an argument about when the defect began. A dated aerial survey creates a clear record before that chain starts.
A useful record, not a vague checklist
AyeInspect photographs every accessible elevation and records visible defects on the image itself. Moved slates, damaged ridge tiles, failed flashing, gutter defects and areas of wear are circled and explained, so the condition can be understood without relying on a short written note.
When landlords should commission a survey
- Before buying or refinancing a rental property
- At the start of a planned maintenance programme
- After high winds, hail or a reported leak
- Before instructing roof repairs, so contractors quote against the same evidence
- After work is completed, to record the visible result
- When managing several properties and prioritising limited maintenance budgets
Better conversations with tenants, factors and insurers
A report cannot replace every specialist investigation, but it can establish what was visible on a particular date. That is useful when reporting a claim, discussing common repairs with a factor or showing a contractor exactly which areas need attention.
Impartial by design
We do not sell roof repairs and we do not steer landlords towards selected contractors. The inspection and the repair remain separate, helping you seek comparable quotations and make the decision yourself.
